The Basketball Americas Championship, also referred to as the FIBA Americas Championship, is a biennial international basketball tournament for teams from the Americas. It is organized by FIBA Americas and serves as the qualifying tournament for the FIBA Basketball World Cup and the Olympic Games.
The tournament features teams from North America, Central America, the Caribbean, and South America. The top teams from the Americas compete for the Championship title, with the winner earning a spot in the following year's FIBA Basketball World Cup or directly qualifying for the Olympic Games.
The first Basketball Americas Championship was held in 1980, and the tournament has been played every two years since then. The United States has historically been the dominant team in the competition, having won multiple titles.
